Named Beetle in Unrest??

[twizztid]

What's the name of the named death beetle in unrest, I think in the courtyard area?? I thought it was like shadowpincer or something. Oh and what does he drop, spawn at, ph'ers?

[Shyguy McFly]

Was not aware there even was a named death beetle.

raid target

he spawned today for us. But we werent ready for him. unlike the other beetles, this one is KOS, and alittle higher level. we ended up zoning it and a druid levelling a paladin friend killed it, so no idea what he dropped. i think it was yellow to me at 14.

spawn was in courtyard, and PHs could well be beetles as we killed those en mass.

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

never heard of one there

[StinkyGreenBud]

Yes his name is Shadowpincer.

Heh, I was that druid. Unfortunately the named didn't drop anything aside from a cracked scarab carapace, the usual beetle trash loot. How disappointed was I. ):

EQAtlas always had this guy listed but I never saw him, figured it was a rumor. EQAtlas always says he drops a Shadowed Bone Breastplate/Carapace but again, I've never seen one, ever.

Aren't all the beetles supposed to be KoS?

These bugs have a large aggro range, and will swarm quickly. They aggro to ANY fight, and can turn an easy fight into a deadly one rather quickly.

Killed it as well a while back and i can also confirm that it dropped nothing beside crappy carapace...

I think that guineapig was making a comment about the current state of the non-named beetles in unrest, which is that they are NOT currently KOS but should be.

It's really hard to click back a page so I'll re-quote the quote Chicanery posted that contradicted her statement.

The beetles assist aggro, but I never recall them being kos themselves.

The beetles assist aggro, but I never recall them being kos themselves.

In other words, they behave like every other beetle in Norrath. Shocker! :eek:

[nilbog]

I believe the beetles acted like the crocodiles in oasis. There are certain npcs that should be "scowls, ready to attack", but never do.

There is no support in eqemu for this, so the best we can do is limit its aggro radius. I have mentioned this to the source folks, but I'm not sure of a fix.

Hmm just killed Shadowpincer today. Cons white at 15, hits up to 45 dmg, and only dropped cracked beetle carpace. Pretty useless mob...

[Duma]

Shadowpincer is a live event mob that got sucked up by packet sniffers.
